(VIS) - Today, the Holy Father appointed Abbot Donato Ogliari,
O.S.B., as abbot of the territorial abbey of Montecassino, Italy. He
formerly served as abbot of the Santa Maria della Scala Monastery in
Noci, Italy. The Holy Father has, at the same time, applied the Motu
Proprio “Ecclesia Catholica” to the Abbey of Montecassino with a
subsequent reduction of its territory, providing that: the territory
on which stand the Abbey Church and Monastery belongs to the new
territorial configuration of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction
“Territorial Abbey of Montecassino”, effective immediately. The
53 parishes with their faithful, secular and religious clergy,
religious communities, and semiarians pass to the pastoral care of
the Diocese of Sora-Aquino-Pontecorvo, which will now be named
Sora-Cassino-Aquino-Pontecorvo.
